Heat Transfer + Stretched Canvas = AWESOME!
I would have never thought to iron heat transfer onto canvas if it weren’t for this unrelated tutorial on Silhouette’s Blog. I kinda put it in my mental file box and went along with my day after I had read about it. Then, Saturday, I took the girls to an impromptu trip to Pottery Barn Outlet and I bought new a new shower curtain, towels, trash can, & bath rug for the girls’ bathroom. The towels have a cute surf board pattern and the shower curtain has pink, blue, and green stripes (the Parker Shower Curtain). Yesterday while daydreaming what kind of artwork I wanted for the bathroom I pulled that Silhouette Tutorial out my mental file cabinet and had a light bulb moment! I would make my own artwork!!! The first one was a little touch and go – I am not a huge fan of it and if heat transfer wasn’t so dang pricey I would redo it. The 2nd one, however, I am truly, madly, deeply in love with!! I used my Silhouette to cut out all the heat transfer to iron on. The pale pink color is flocked while the other colors are smooth.

Those are adorable! I need to figure out if I can use the heat transfer stuff with my cricut! Something like that would be adorable in my boys playroom!
As always..LOVE IT!!
They are both awesome, Stacy! You are right about the material being pricey…I am careful with how I cut!! You have some of the cutest projects. 🙂
